Women Who Kill Cease, to Go Free Eva Coo Fifth Sentenced to Electric Chair in New \ ork. BY ELEANOR GINN limn Writer. YORK seems determined H to stamp out cold-blood <1 murder and is showing itscll no :e----fpreter oi persons. Sentencing a woman to die in the electric chair has become a matter .( court routine. A criminal who 'happen* to be a a woman who happens to be a criminal, gets and in justice be said, teserves, the same punishment as the male criminal. But since the death penalty seems to have tailed as a detterent to crime, if itt justification is that it provides a horrible examp.e to others and will stay the hand a. slayers in the luture. it can not be said to be 100 per cent effective. Eva Coo. convicted ol a particularly cold-blooded murder, profl’ed in no way by the execution of Ruth Bnvder. who also killed in cola blood and lor gam. H*r m the chair tailed to keep anoth-r avaricious woman from Committing a brutal crime in order that she might R ain a mans insurance. Compared so such callousness the of a crime of passion seems almoc respectable. To realise that the so-called gentle sex is capable of such a grusb scheme is to realize that in enm 'here is no sex and that m cunning and cruelty women are comparable to male criminals. P Unless the court of appeals or Governor Lehman intervene* Eva Coo will be the fifth woman to be electrocuted in New York It _ quite reasonable to suppose that her death in the chair will not slow up the next woman with murder in her heart Yet her experience may not be entirely In vain. Women Notoriously Merciless It offers proof, if proof were r.edod, that the woman who confjrjrs m another woman i- putting herself at the mercy of that woman and that women are notoriously merciless to each other. Intrusting a confidence to the average woman is certainly asking for trouble. Not that women are incapable of friendship, but it is to the eternal discredit of our sex that the percentage of women who are capable of it is much lower than it should be. Eva Coos best friuid and confidant forgot her role when she was confronted with the alternative of saving her own skin or consigning that of the woman who trusted her. literally to the flames. The brain that conceived such a diabolical scheme failed this wretched woman when she yielded to the impulse to confide her plan to another woman. Exhibit A.— Woman s greatest weakness. In turning states evidence. Martha Clift has been roundly scored as a Judas in female form. The great love that sacrifices one's life for one's friend did not burn in the bosom of this woman, who was too nervous to stop her car fiom driving back and forth over the body of a man, an act which/seems to call for a tremendous amount of nerve and emotional control. Running over the dead body of an animal in the roadway is enough to give the average woman driver the jitters, nor would she do such a thine willingly. A nice pair of girl friends, these. Already Tunished Cut aside from all this and even from the sentences pronounced or to be pronounced, these women have already had some deserved punishment meted out to them. Martha Clift must have writhed under the scorn of the decent for the betrayer, j E\ a Coo. an absurd name for a murderess. must certainly have already experienced a shock when she saw herself as others see her, instead of 'in the role of siren in which she seemed to picture herself. It is taxing the imagination of the average woman to the breaking point to expect her to appreciate the , feelings of a woman condemned to j death. But there's not a woman j living who can not understand the 1 feeling for a woman whose counsel J and supposedly her friend can only aay to her. "Look at her. Somebody loved her once. She may be an old sheep now—but she must have been somebody's pet lamb." A courtroom scene on stage or screen in which a speech occurred w ould be jeered or howled down by any audience. The learned counsel for the defense seems to be curiously lacking in anything remotely resembling a sense of humor. One who has heard one's self so described can well be imagined saving. "Oh. death, where is thy sting?'’ Miss Constance McCullough, who has been visiting her mother. Mrs. John S. McCullough, has returned to Minneapolis. Minn., to resume her duties lb the college of education of the University of Minnesota.

Each year the national championship tournament is held at Asbury Park. N. J. While this certainly helps duplicate bridge in New Jersey, I believe a great deal of the credit belongs to E. M. Goddard, who is the active spirit behind duplicate bridge on the Jersey shore. With all his activities. Mr. Goddard finds time to play a duplicate game himself occasionally, and here is one of the interesting hands he played in a recent contest..

MR. GODDARD was sitting in the North. East’s opening lead was the queen of clubs, which Mr. Goddard won in dummy with the king. Mr. Goodard now marked East—due to his double—with the king and queen of spades, the ace oi king of hearts and the king of diamonds, and planned his play accordingly. The next lead was a small heart. Mr. Goddard played the jack and East won the trick with the ace. It certainly looked as ,f Mr. Goddard had lo lose at least two spades and two hearts. The jack of clubs was returned; Mr. Goddard won with the ace and played the queen of diamonds. East covered with the king and dummy won with the ace. The queen of hearts was returned, West winning with the king. West returned a diamond, which declarer won with the jack. The seven of clubs was ruffed in dummy and a small diamond returned and ruffed by the declarer. The eight of hearts was ruffed with the six of spades in dummy: the eight of diamonds was ruffed with the nine of spades. Mr. Goddard now was down to three trumps in his hand and three in the dummy, while East held the king, queen and eight of trump. A small spade was played and East was helpless. He won the trick with the queen, but now had to give Mr. Goddard the last two trump tricks, and the contract was made. 'Copyright, 1934. NEA Service. Inc.) CARD PARTIES Broad Ripple chapter.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Put ▼•■ r problem befr* J* Jrdn wh will ▼•• r ■*** and and all h ran t* b*lp Letter* es comment are alaa invited. Dear Jane Jordan—l am very much in love with a boy who is a vear older than I am. W’e plan to be married in the near future. W’e have been going together for a year and I know he loves me, but his folks object to his going with me. They have seen me but once and have no reason to dislike me because I have x good character and reputation. We don’t know why they dislike me but when he is at home that is all they talk about. It breaks my heart for them to act like that because both of us are of a well thought of and respectable family. What can I do to prove to them that I love him and win their respect? WORRIED BROWN EYES. Answer—ls only I knew what they were saying I could be of more help to you. but you do not tell me what their complaints are. If the young man’s family is wholly or partially

and e pendent upon him for supp ort it would be difficult for them to like you. If is mother is the doting kind who considers any other woman an intruder, you indeed would have a problem. But you give me no clew to the situation what-

ever. It may not be wise for you to marry him in the face of this family opposition. Everything depends on how much he is influenced by family opinion. If he is mature enough to live without the approval of his people you have a chance to make an adjustment. But if family opinion counts for more than outside opinion, then you run a grave risk in throwing in your lot with his. ana Dear Jane Jordan—For the last four weeks my husband and I have been living in a bedroom and taking our meals with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law who live downstairs. We both have been working but haven't had much pay yet, not enough to keep our bills going. My husband's mother and sister have been good to us. but our landlady carries tales back and forth. My husband says his mother is jealous of me. His people talk about mine something awful. We have been married seventeen months and at the first my husband had words with my people. I’ll admit they talked pretty mean to him, but it w ; as only because he beat me up several times and they refuse to help him. His mother keeps reminding me that her daughter has done all she

i can for me. I don't feel like eating their food. What should I do? pat. Answer—l can't help you because it takes money to solve your problem and that you must earn for yourself. All you can do is to keep at your financial problem with the dogged determination to solve it. When you get work that pays you regularly no matter how little, run for your lives! Escape from both your families before they destroy | your chances for happiness utterly! In the meantime do not listen tq petty gossip and keep away from discussions. Never forget that your object is to duck out at the ! first opportunity and be sure to pay in money for the aid you received. 808 Dear Jane Jordan—l am a j woman of 27 and have tried all | ages of men. I ask you why they | all are fickle, conceited, vain and flirtatious. I was engaged to a man like that. Now I am going with a man old enough to be my father and I can't trust him any more than the other one. Show me the man who wouldn't take a chance! Just one! They are not to be trusted. JUST WONDERING. Answer—You can't judge all men from the behavior of two. Lots of men can be trusted. You've just happened on to a couple of triflers. Why bother with them when there are so many others?
